Jabil Joins New Amazon Dash Replenishment Service Providers Program

Program enables brands to streamline smart packaging solution
development while building automated ordering and replenishment
experiences for customers

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2018--
Jabil Packaging Solutions, a division of Jabil (NYSE: JBL), today
announced it has joined the Amazon Dash Replenishment Service (DRS)
Solution Providers program. This program enables systems integrators to
bring new DRS-enabled devices, which automatically reorder physical
goods from Amazon.com, to their customers.

As one of the first certified DRS solution providers, Jabil Packaging
Solutions delivers specially designed smart packaging and devices with
embedded technology that senses when new supplies are needed. When the
contents are running low, the packaging containers use DRS to trigger an
order from Amazon, delivering new supplies to consumers at the right
time, every time.

“With DRS-integrated packages, households can run smoother and more
efficiently because key items can be automatically replenished thanks to
the ease of eCommerce,” said Joe Stodola, vice president, Jabil
Packaging Solutions. “We’re thrilled to be working with Amazon to offer
end-to-end development capabilities and support the value that comes to
the entire industry from bringing smart packaging into the mainstream
while empowering leading brands to benefit from innovative, new digital
technologies.”

New Standards in Customer Convenience Drive Loyalty and Wallet Share

Jabil’s digital replenishment solutions with DRS will serve consumers
through a smart container that senses product usage, with or without an
accompanying smartphone application. Product modifications—such as
changing the flavor, size, delivery date or re-order threshold—are at
the user’s discretion. This customizable, frictionless repurchasing
reduces and simplifies the complexity of tracking stock, remembering
what needs replacing, making lists and planning store trips. Use of
DRS’s “Dash Button” already has demonstrated the measurable impact
re-order convenience has on product sales for brands.

“Working with companies like Jabil Packaging Solutions, brands now can
leverage more complex designs that are already pre-integrated with
technologies needed to build DRS into connected devices,” said Dean
Seifert, general manager, Amazon Dash. “Through the DRS Solution
Providers program, our goal is to continue making it even easier to
integrate DRS into products and shorten time-to-market for brands, and
in-the-end, bring a seamless and unique shopping experience to customers
so they never have to worry about running out of everyday essentials.”

Jabil Packaging Solutions will empower leading brand customers to lower
costs, bring connected devices to market faster and drive increased
consumer loyalty through auto-replenishment of their consumables through
the DRS-connected device. The ability to better understand consumer
habits and preferences—not just in purchasing, but in actual use—will
prove invaluable in driving deeper customer insights and informed
product innovations. Jabil Packaging Solutions has the ability to
collect this usage data for each brand sending a consumable through the
ecosystem. For consumers, the benefits are equally valuable; they are
freed from the chore of keeping their homes supplied with staple goods.
